Steamed golden syrup pudding is a classic British dessert that’s warm, comforting, and perfect for a sweet treat.
ingredients
- 175g softened butter
- 100g golden syrup, plus 6 tbsp for serving
- 100g caster sugar
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 175g self-raising flour
- Hot vanilla custard, for serving
method
- Grease a 2-pint pudding basin generously with butter and drizzle the golden syrup into the bottom.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly between each addition. If the mixture begins to curdle, add a tablespoon of the self-raising flour after each egg.
- Gently mix in the flour until just combined. Add milk a little at a time until you have a thick but droppable consistency.
- Pour the batter into the prepared basin. Cover with a piece of greaseproof paper followed by a sheet of tin foil. Secure the lid with a piece of baker’s twine.
- Place an upturned plate in the base of your pressure cooker and fill with 2 cups of water. Place your pudding basin on top of the plate and secure the lid.
- Place your pressure cooker over high heat until it reaches the low setting, then turn your heat down to low and cook for 60 minutes.
- Release the pressure using the natural method and remove the lid. Allow the pudding to cool for a few minutes before turning it out onto a serving plate.
- Serve with additional golden syrup and hot vanilla custard.
Enjoy your delicious steamed golden syrup pudding!
